Hello, I’m Yuki — the heart behind YUZU WASHOKU STUDIO.
Thank you so much for visiting my page.

I run a small Japanese home-cooking studio in Tokyo, where I teach all my classes in English.
I’ve always loved people, food, travel, and good books — and my life has been shaped by experiences abroad since I was young.

My first trip overseas was a short summer program in Australia when I was in junior high school.

It was my very first glimpse of life outside Japan, and I still remember how exciting everything felt. Later, I spent a year as an exchange student in Wisconsin, U.S., where my host family’s warm home-cooked meals brought me comfort on many challenging days. Those dinners reminded me how deeply food connects people, no matter where we come from.

In university, I studied in Massachusetts and met friends from all around the world. We often cooked together, shared our cultures, and learned about one another through food. Those memories are a big part of why I love teaching Japanese home cooking today.

After working in international trade and spending years raising my two children, I opened this studio in March 2025.

My wish is simple: to share the everyday Japanese dishes that bring warmth to our homes,

and to offer travelers and residents a small place of comfort during their time in Japan.

If you’re curious about Japanese home cooking or simply want to enjoy a peaceful moment in Tokyo, I would be delighted to welcome you.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
